Eckard V. Toy, Jr.: March 19, 1931—October 7, 2013
Edwards, G. Thomas; Robbins, William G.; Hoppes, Karen; Tamura, Linda
Dr. Eckard V. Toy, Jr., grew up in the Pacific Northwest and earned his Ph.D. in
American history at the University of Oregon. Beginning with his 1959 Master’s
thesis, “The Ku Klux Klan in Oregon: Its Charter and Program,” the Klan and
related topics were a primary focus of his research and writing. After teaching
at several universities in the Midwest and on the Pacific Coast, he retired to the
Hood River Valley. He is remembered here by friends and colleagues.

The changing role of history in restoration ecology
Higgs, Eric; Falk, Donald A.; Guerrini, Anita; et al.
In the face of rapid environmental and cultural change, orthodox concepts in restoration ecology such as historical
fidelity are being challenged. Here we re-examine the diverse roles played by historical knowledge in restoration,
and argue that these roles remain vitally important. As such, historical knowledge will be critical in shaping
restoration ecology in the future. Perhaps the most crucial role in shifting from the present version of restoration
ecology (“v1.0”) to a newer formulation (“v2.0”) is the value of historical knowledge in guiding scientific interpretation,
recognizing key ecological legacies, and influencing the choices available to practitioners of ecosystem
intervention under conditions of open-ended and rapid change.

Seeing the Oceans in the Shadow of Bergen Values
Hamblin, Jacob Darwin
Although oceanographers such as Roger Revelle are typically associated with key indicators
of anthropogenic change, he and other scientists at midcentury had very different
scientific priorities and ways of seeing the oceans. How can we join the narrative of the
triumph of mathematical, dynamic oceanography with the environmental narrative? Dynamic
methods entailed a broad set of values that touched the professional lives of marine
scientists in a variety of disciplines all over the world, for better or for worse. The present
essay highlights three aspects of “Bergen values” in need of greater exploration by
scholars. First, how did the dominance of Scandinavian outlooks influence scientific
questions across the broad spectrum of oceanography? Second, did oceanographers’
particular means of making the oceans legible through instrumentation challenge their
ability to perceive the oceans differently? Third, given the immense quantity of data, was
the historical legacy of the dynamic oceanographers more descriptive than they imagined?
